Bookies declare Scarlett Moffatt the most popular contestant EVER

| Updated:

Scarlett Moffatt has only just been confirmed to take part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here but she is already the favourite to win.

The 25-year-old is trading her Gogglebox sofa for the outback and fans have started betting on the brunette beauty, could she be the most popular contestant EVER?

William Hill revealed that Scar has attracted 34% of all bets to win this year’s I’m A Celeb, which is an unprecedented level of support before the show has started.

She is a 6/4 clear favourite to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.

A spokesman said: “The bets keep flooding in for Scarlett and it would not be a surprise to see her odds on before the show starts.

“The removal of Danny Baker from the betting has seen her odds shorten as he was 9/2 second favourite.”

This is not surprising, as Scar stole everyone’s hearts on the ITV show with her witty humour and hilarious comments, as well as documenting her incredible weight-loss journey.

So, who else is going to be joining the Geordie babe and how do their odds look?

Sam Quek

Odds: 6/1

Gorgeous Sam won gold at the Rio 2016 games for Team GB with her hockey teammates.

Joel Dommet

Odds: 8/1

You’ll probably recognise the face but probably not the name. He was in the TV show Skins and recent flick White Island with Darren Day, but he is best known as a comedian who’s appeared on many TV panel shows, including Bring The Noise alongside Nicole Scherzinger.

Adam Thomas

Odds: 9/1

Super-cute star of Emmerdale and brother of Love Island’s Scott and Corrie’s Ryan Thomas.

He’s been buffing up over the summer so expect him to be showcasing that marvellous physique of his.

Larry Lamb

Odds: 9/1

You all know this silver fox, from EastEnders, Gavin and Stacey and – for the older readers amongst you – Triangle.

He might be pushing 70 but he’s still a dashing so and so and is father to the just-as-hot but currently AWOL radio DJ George Lamb.

Carol Vorderman

Odds: 10/1

Carol Vorderman

At 55, our Caz can show the younger girls a thing or two about being svelte, classy and sexy – and we reckon she’ll be pushing those young’uns out of the that waterfall so she can give herself a good wash for the cameras!

Jordan Banjo

Odds: 14/1

Brother of Diversity leader Ashley, best known for dancing, doing back-flips and dumping Jesy Nelson from Little Mix because – reportedly – he couldn’t deal with the level of fame she had!

Ola Jordan

Odds: 14/1

With her stunning looks, curvy physique and tantalising European accent, she’s likely to be the one to get dirty old men into a right old two-and-eight when she’s giving herself a good scrub down in that shower!

Martin Roberts

Odds: 16/1

Housewives will love this cute and cuddly property presenter of Homes Under The Hammer, which he has presented for 13 years. Unlikely to surprise us with a six-pack, though.

Lisa Snowdon

Odds: 20/1

Yes, folks, there is more to Lisa Snowdon than going out with George Clooney, who she started dating for five years in 2000. That was SIXTEEN YEARS AGO and we bet she’s bored to death about being asked about that! She’s a successful TV presenter, radio host, model and pretty cool dancer (she came third on Strictly in 2008). So come on guys, enough of George, right?

Wayne Bridge

Odds: 20/1

Cavalli Store Launch After Party - London Fashion Week

Perhaps not in the same looks league as a David Beckham, but Wayne was dashing enough to woo and marry Frankie from the Saturdays and S Club Juniors.
